The Brisbane Broncos and Sydney Roosters will do battle for the first time since their season-opening clash in Las Vegas.
The Roosters emerged as victors on that occasion, but the Broncos have enjoyed more wins since, and currently sit just outside the top four.
Can they pick up a fourth win in a row, or will the Tricolours build on their 60-point Anzac Day showing?

Broncos vs. Roosters tips and prediction
This match should be a good one.
Both teams are coming off big wins and will be full of confidence as they push for top four.
Ezra Mam and Selwyn Cobbo are back in a major boost for the Broncos, but that will be balanced out by the return of Daniel Tupou, Sitili Tupouniua and Victor Radley for the Roosters.
It will be interesting to observe how both teams fare with their first-choice spine available, with injuries impacting their respective squads in the early stages of the season.
We're leaning towards the Broncos due to their consistency, and the fact they'll have a raucous Suncorp Stadium behind them.
Our prediction: Broncos by 6 points
